“…Although this conclusion conirms a concept related to cultural participation already found in the literature [28][29][30], it can be said that such relationship can also be applied to a more general idea of participation, which includes social participation and the use of free time and continuing education.…”

“…On the other hand, the factors of cultural participation constitute the speciic and personal resources used to meet a more general need called "cultural appreciation," together of course with some degree of personal taste [26] Several studies have shown that participation rates to events of cultural nature can be associated with urban residence [28], income [29,30], and pressures stemming from membership in a particular social group [28] and age [31].…”

Social and cultural participation has always been a means to promote high economic growth and the development of the individual in a given society. Public and private institutions often try to make available eforts and resources to promote the usability of free time and social participation. This paper uses data from the multipurpose survey on Italian households, conducted by the Italian Institute of Statistics, and it analyses the relationship between cultural capability and the income and economic means of Italian households through the construction of a composite indicator of cultural well-being. The analysis of the individual indicators of education and cultural participation makes it possible to study issues related to the development of social capital in the northern and southern areas, thus highlighting the gap and enabling the decision-maker to apply possible corrections.

“…Research indicates that cultural participation can be limited by several barriers. People may not be able to participate in culture for a range of reasons, including not having the required funds, lacking knowledge of the topic, or feeling like they do not belong (Vermeersch and Vandenbroucke 2014). The researchers therefore enquired as to why the participants had not participated in the previously mentioned cultural activities more often.…”

“…Vermeersch e Vandenbroucke (2014) consideram que a participação sociocultural é um dos direitos menos desenvolvidos e que políticas relacionadas a esse assunto são geralmente fracas. Em parte pelo baixo monitoramento dos acordos internacionais, das políticas e dos regulamentos em cada lugar; mas também em parte pelo fato de que, em tempos de crise econômica, os formuladores de políticas públicas experienciam pouca aceitação social e apoio público para promover a participação cultural (Vermeersch & Vandenbroucke, 2014). Pesquisas para entender as maneiras e motivações para o consumo de cultura começam a surgir, especialmente na sociologia, com intelectuais investigando os antecedentes do consumo cultural (Bourdieu, 1975) e o mecanismo de transmissão de cultural, chamado por Bourdieu de "distinção", a transmissão de códigos culturais e conhecimento reservados para uma elite intelectual e abastada (Colbert, 2017).…”

Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits. Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets culture as a universal right, which should make cultural participation a priority theme of government agendas, although not the reality in many countries. Given this context, the present study sought to investigate consumer profiles of cultural activities in Brazil. This goal unfolded into four others. The first three refer to the identification and description of the profiles of current consumers of cultural activities in Brazil, also groups with different behaviors in relation to those activities and comparing the groups regarding sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics. The fourth specific goal was concerned with the identification and description of the group most excluded from cultural participation, as well as the investigation of factors related to this exclusion. To achieve these objectives, the literature review raised themes about culture, cultural capital, Bourdieu's notion of habitus and field, Social Reproduction Theory and arts marketing. As for the methods, mixed methods were applied. It was used data from survey conducted in 2017 with 10630 people in 12 Brazilian cities, conducted by Datafolha and designed by JLeiva. For more depth in qualitative analysis, it was used data from two focus groups conducted in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It was used, for quantitative analysis, cluster analysis with the IBM SPSS. For the qualitative analysis, content analysis was performed with NVivo Pro 12. The main findings contextualize Bourdieu's (2017) theory of distinction as they explain the existence of consumer profiles of cultural activities with differences related to aspects of class, income and education, and situate the issue of Internet access as a prominently socializing factor for the person's cultural consumption. Other findings related to the exclusion from cultural participation suggest that there is a powerful relation between women's imputed reproductive labor and the range of impediments to actively consider the practice of cultural activities. It is possible to infer that the relational position of women in society, especially when she is from lower economic classes, represents a level of symbolic violence that undermines her possibilities of cultural participation through several key points: little to no free time, household and domestic activities, reproductive labor, little economic capital, dependence of the male figure on different aspects that form women's habitus and, in part, the failure to realize that all these aspects are connected. Finally, the main results were discussed according to the theoretical framework, pointing theoretical contributions to the areas of consumer behavior, cultural consumption and audience development, as well as practical contributions to the development of public and cultural policies, with suggestions for future research.
